Psalm 119:42

New English Translation

Then I will have a reply for the one who insults me, for I trust in your word.

See the chapter Copy

I am disdained by them. When they see me, they shake their heads.

Remember your word to your servant, for you have given me hope.

Your loyal followers will be glad when they see me, for I find hope in your word.

I desperately long for your deliverance. I find hope in your word.

Many say about me, “God will not deliver him.” (Selah)

My enemies’ taunts cut into me to the bone, as they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”

In God – I boast in his promise – in God I trust, I am not afraid. What can mere men do to me?

Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad, so that I may answer anyone who taunts me.

and said, “Sir, we remember that while that deceiver was still alive he said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’

Therefore keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God that it will be just as I have been told.
